The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Chapter 834

Melanie did not like what she heard and frowned as she glanced at Dory.

Dory did not notice it, but she did meet with Eugene’s dark stare.

Melanie pressed her lips and turned to leave. Dory seemed quite close to Eugene when they were speaking to each other. Even Viola had never spoken that way to him.

That was how he always was.

that. Now, he was

Dory looked at Melanie as she walked away. Melanie’s long light–colored dress accentuated her body perfectly. Dory could not help whistling. “Her body is so hot. A man should put a ring on her finger right new.”

The moment she said this, she sensed a chilling look being shot at her from the side. Eugene was shooting frosty daggers at her with his eyes.

He growled. “Is this how your family teaches you manners?”

Dory managed to get Melanie’s number in the end. She greeted Melanie enthusiastically with a message but Melanie gave her an indifferent reply.

Melanie received a message from Yana next. Yana had contacted her to gossip and asked if Melanie

was in Nama

She replied to Yana with a “yes“, and Yana replied immediately: [That explains a lot. I was wondering why Dory wanted to get your contact information from me.

[It would’ve slipped my mind if she hadn’t reached out to me. I wanted to tell you that Viola is married.]

Yana told her that Viola got married last year to a divorced cripple in his 40s.

She heard that it took Viola less than half a month to marry him. He was a known alcoholic, and that was the reason he got divorced from his first wife. He did not have a job and relied on his mother, who owned a tailor shop, to provide for the family.

A LeapCo employee stayed around the area. When she went to pick up her clothes from the shop, she saw Viola being yelled at by her mother–in–law. Viola looked quite pitiful then.

Yana’s words reminded Melanie of what Matthew said before about giving her a reward.

What sort of reward was this?

Melanie did not ask Matthew about this. Her anger at Viola had disappeared following Merry’s birth.

She believed that Viola would receive her karma sooner or later. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Chapter 834

It seemed like everyone had expected Melanie and Xander to become a couple. Yvonne did not even hold back when joking about this. She would always ask Melanie when she was planning to make it official with Xander.

Melanie did not reply. She was well aware of her relationship with Xander. All that was lacking between them was the right time.

Yvonne encouraged her, saying, “You need to be in charge of your own happiness. Xander is a Capricorn who keeps things bottled inside him. He does that better than anyone I know. If you have any feelings for him, you need to be the one who takes action. Besides, everyone can tell that he likes you.”

Melanie had never confessed to anyone before. Even when she was with Eugene, they got together naturally.

Yvonne added that Xander’s birthday was just around the corner and Melanie should give him a surprise.

Melanie thought about this for a long time. She ended up planning a surprise for Xander because Yvonne and Reny had been taking turns brainwashing her into doing something.

She figured that this could be considered a nice thing to do as a friend even if she was not planning on using the opportunity to confess her feelings.

However, none of them expected Xander to suddenly receive a call from overseas a day before his birthday. His mother’s condition had worsened.

Melanie held the phone in her hand as she stared at the carefully decorated room. She comforted him, sayin, “Don’t worry. Your mother will be fine.”

She was about to ask him when he would come back but decided not to after some thought.
